Smackdown for January 31st began
with a recap of the return of Hulk Hogan on last week's show, and
the resulting confrontation with Vince McMahon.

A-Train defeated Rey Mysterio in
3:38. Rey went after A-Train before the bell, looking for
revenge for being sidelined by A-Train several weeks ago.
Rey kept going to the air, but A-Train kept going back to power
moves, winning with the Train Wreck (over the shoulder
backbreaker, then drop to the mat).

Josh Matthews interviewed Paul
Heyman about the Undertaker. Heyman said Big Show will not
wrestle the Undertaker, because Taker is looking for revenge, not
a match. Heyman said Show was given tonight off.

They replay John Cena dumping B2
two weeks ago, and joining forces with Red Dogg.

Eddie Guerrero defeated John Cena
in 5:52. Plenty of outside involvement from Red Dogg and
Chavo Guerrero. Los Guerreros were actually the babyfaces
here, either because the fans hate Cena's rap, or they appreciate
that the Guerreros are much better wrestlers. Chavo ended up
shoving Cena off the top rope as he prepared for a dive, setting
up for Eddie's frog splash for the win.

The Undertaker arrived.

Paul Heyman was on his phone with
the Big Show, talking about Undertaker being at the
building. Heyman goes over to Brian Kendricks (Spanky), who
Heyman puts over as being trained by Shawn Michaels. Heyman
tells the awestruck him he has an opportunity for him.
Kendricks tells Heyman he will do anything to make it in this
business.

Stephanie McMahon is in her
office, complaining on the phone about not having a cell
phone. Vince McMahon enters, upset over her bringing back
Hulk Hogan. Stephanie defends her decision, saying she was
just following in Vince's footsteps in trying to beat the
competition. Vince tells Stephanie that he has a big
surprise this week.

Billy Kidman defeated Shannon
Moore with the shooting star press in 5:50. Matt Hardy was
still shoving and bossing Moore around. Before the match
begins, we find out that Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie will take
place on Velocity this weekend. Hardy tries to help Moore, going
after Kidman on the top rope, setting Shannon up for a superplex,
but Kidman blocks it and tossed Moore to the mat, then follows
with the shooting star for the win. After the match, Matt
lays out Kidman with a pair of Twist Of Fates.

Mr. McMahon is heading to the
ring, stopping to shake hands with Nunzio.

We see a replay of Hogan's
challenge to McMahon last week.

Mr. McMahon comes to the ring, and
yells at the fans for chanting "Hogan" at him.
Vince claimed Hogan was a manipulator, tricking the fans.
McMahon said even Hogan doesn't believe the red and yellow
"crap" he says. Vince then took credit for
creating Hulkamania. Vince McMahon then said he was going to
answer Hulk Hogan's challenge, then pulled a switch and said that
Hulk Hogan would face the Rock at No Way Out. Vince starts to
leave, but before he does, he announces that the Rock would speak
to them via satellite.

The Rock came on the screen, and
said he was happy not to be in Green Bay, because it was so cold
there. Rock said he doesn't answer to Vince McMahon, he
answers to the people. Rock said the fans want to see the
rematch of Hogan vs. Rock, the greatest match of all time.
Rock said he would face Hogan at No Way Out. Rock put
himself over, promised to defeat Hogan, and delivered his
catchphrases.

Bill DeMott defeated Rikishi in
3:54. Rikishi went for a DDT, but DeMott hooked the top
rope, and Rikishi fell to the mat, hitting his head. DeMott
then used the ropes for leverage to get the pin. DeMott is
now 2-1 in matches with Rikishi.

As DeMott headed up the ramp,
Undertaker rode down on his motorcycle, and DeMott had to jump
out of the way. Undertaker got in the ring and called out
The Big Show. After a commercial, we see Undertaker sitting
on the steps, waiting for Big Show. Undertaker says his new
attitude is "Shut Up and Fight" and once again calls
out Show. Big Show's music hit, and Paul Heyman walked
out. Heyman, from the stage, told Undertaker that Show was
not here, but that Show had sent a personal message for
him. Brian Kendricks, in a bellhop uniform, rode a kid's
bicycle to the ring. Kendricks was scared to death, as
Undertaker asked what his reason was for coming to the
ring. Kendricks had a singing telegram from the Big Show,
apologizing for laying him out a few weeks ago. Heyman,
from the stage, insisted that this was a sincere apology from
Show, and that he was sorry. Undertaker told Heyman to tell
Show that when he catches up with him, the Big Show will truly be
sorry. Kendricks was looking for a tip for his song.
Undertaker said he had a lot of guts, if not a lot of
brains. Undertaker tipped him a hundred bucks.
Kendricks was about to leave, but Undertaker asked to see it one
more time. As he began to sing, Undertaker gave him the
Last Ride, then took back his money.

A Nathan Jones promo aired.

Kurt Angle was in the back, giving
Team Angle a pep talk for their match with Chris Benoit &
Edge, in which the winners get a tag team title match against Los
Guerreros. Angle got some cheap heat from the Green Bay crowd by
ripping on the Packers. Angle also said he picked Charlie
Haas and Shelton Benjamin for Team Angle, when it was Paul Heyman
that picked them. Haas and Benjamin promised to win it for
Angle.

A recap of Brock Lesnar's
interview from last week was shown.

We see Edge and Chris Benoit
getting ready to head to the ring.

A Sean O'Haire promo aired.

Team Angle (Charlie Haas &
Shelton Benjamin) defeated Edge & Chris Benoit in 19:00
(including one commercial break) to become the number one
contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championship. Kurt Angle
joined in on commentary for part of the match. then started
getting involved. The Guerreros were watching on the monitor in
the locker room. Great mat wrestling match. In the
end, Angle hit Benoit with the WWE Title belt, enabling Benjamin
to get the pin.

The Guerreros were shown watching
their challengers for next week walk up the ramp as the show
ended
